Covered Bridge (Pavia)

Highlight • Bridge

The Covered Bridge, also known as Ponte Vecchio, crosses the Ticino River and connects the historic center of Pavia with the characteristic Borgo Ticino district, originally located outside the peripheral walls of the city. The neighborhood was traditionally inhabited by washermen, scree workers and fishermen.

The bridge, symbol of Pavia, is particular, with its five arches, entirely covered by a structure, and equipped with two portals at its ends. Also, there is a small chapel in the middle of the bridge.

The current Ponte Coperto was built between 1949 and 1951 and reflects the characteristics of the ancient Ponte Coperto dating back to the 14th century, which in turn had replaced the ancient Roman bridge (whose columns are still visible today).

Ponte Coperto (the Covered Bridge) in Pavia

Highlight • Bridge

The Covered Bridge connects the historic center of Pavia to Borgo Ticino. The first bridge at this point was built by order of Emperor Augustus and was replaced in the 14th century by a covered bridge. Due to the damage suffered by the Allied bombings during the Second World War, one of the arches of the fourteenth-century bridge collapsed and it was decided to demolish the entire structure. The new bridge was inaugurated in 1951; on the entrance portal on the city side, in memory of past events, a plaque was placed reading: "On the ancient passage of the cerulean Ticino, in the image of the ancient Covered Bridge, demolished by the fury of war, the Italian Republic rebuilt it".
